Mohammed Shami and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi share a dressing room for East Zone following the recently concluded Duleep Trophy 2026 final, with Shami joking about Sooryavanshi’s age. The exchange is framed as light banter between the 36-year-old pacer and the 15-year-old batter.
The reports focus on the interpersonal moment rather than match details, using Shami’s comment—described as “Not even old as my career”—to highlight the contrast in their ages and roles. The framing is consistent across the outlet’s repeated coverage: both emphasize that the pair were teammates in the East Zone setup after the final, and that the interaction happened in the dressing room.
While the wording varies slightly, the core points remain the same: the two players are from East Zone, the setting is the dressing room, and the story centres on Shami’s humorous banter with the teenage batter.
